3. While the beets are cooking, prepare the cilantro hummus. Combine the garbanzo beans, cilantro, jalapenos, lime juice, tahini, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, garlic, cayenne pepper and 2-3 tablespoons of water into a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.

Chop into bite size pieces and add 2 teaspoons oil, 2 teaspoons vinegar, and ½ teaspoon salt and combine. Use toothpicks to serve.
5. Add the cilantro hummus to the board the arrange the veggies, cheese, crackers, blueberries, tomatoes, olives, cashews, and jam onto the board. Garnish with sprigs of dill.
